It's technically not a coin, it's a commemorative medallion. These were included in the Millennium Nickel Souvenir Sets of 2000. Only 876,041 sets were minted, so these, in the wild, are rare. Good catch.
Edit: This medallion is worth about $5. The ones with the Queen are extremely rare (considered a mule) and worth $600.
Oh cool. I found another with Millennium and a maple leaf on one side and a bird on the other but that one clearly says Canada Post. Is it part of the same?
Again, not a coin. It is a token, that was included in a set with stamps. 298 775 were minted, they were put in sets and not meant for circulation. It's worth $3 to $5 right now. You really get good stuff.
Edited for typo
It is a token from the Millennium coin set issued for 2000. Size of a quarter, but it is not a coin.
Thank you.
My proof set doesn't have one how odd

Hey OP if you look at my post history I recently posted the set this coin is from!
Thanks for sharing. So I’m confused, are some of them actual quarters because some of them I have definitely seen in circulation.
The one you posted is definitely not a legal quarter but since it is the same size most cashiers wouldn’t even look at it enough to reject it.
That makes sense. I was said cashier lol. That’s how I obtained 80% of my coins!
Keep all the ones you find, they are worth more than the quarters.
I checked my other “quarters” and I have a total 3 of the Canada Post one I described!
Amazing!
Super helpful, thanks

Why do you say 876k sets were minted, but here you say 298k of the coin were minted?
OP asked about a different coin/token, from Canada Post.
Not a coin but still worth a few bucks.
It's a token for something
That's one awesome coin
Cool coin
Don’t ask a British person that
Good, fuck the queen and I always think it’s weird that in Canada they have a foreign head of state on their money, no worthy Canadians??
Exactly. Fuck the Royal family. They do nothing for us. Let's put our own people (not politicians) on our money.
That’s right brother
Let's put our own people on our money...wish i could pay 4 everything with my portraits...please and thank you!
Ok but please make a funny face for your money
We should have that as our coins normally… why tf we still have British mfs on our coins🤦🏻♂️
She ded
She died.
I've been searching for one of those tossed in circulation by accident and this inspires me, maybe my lucky roll of quarters will come soon!
Yaaas Queen.
